Last week, in response to fan demand, McDonald’s brought back its limited time offer of Szechuan dipping sauce, a promotion they originally had in 1998 for the movie Mulan but which has since resurfaced thanks to an episode of Rick and Morty.

Please God, I don't ask for much, please let us gain enough cultural influence to force McDonald's into bringing back that fucking sauce.

Although McDonald’s intentions were certainly good – as they indisputably always are – the promotion prompted a free-for-all. Hundreds showed up at countless locations across the U.S., only to find each participating restaurant only had 20 packets each on hand.

Customers, many of whom had driven hours to get a taste of that sauce, while others waited many a minute in line, began to revolt, threatening a class-action lawsuit and harassing McDonald’s employees. At one California location, police were called in to hold back and manage the hangry crowds.

By end of day, some packets could be found on eBay, being resold for at least $100. In fact, one fan even went as far as exchanging their 2004 Volkswagen GTI for a single packet. The recipient of said exchange, Rachel Marie of Macomb, Michigan, said in an interview with The Drive, “I didn’t even think I was going to get pin offers. Then he offered the car.”

This isn’t actually all that shocking. Earlier this year, when the hype resurfaced, a user purchased a 19-year-old bottle of the original Szechuan sauce for a whopping $14,700 that had been found in “an old car.”
